Ripples of Thought

It took me two and a half years, but, last Saturday, a couple of my friends and I went snorkeling. Now, I am kicking myself in the face because it was awesome!

To begin with, when we were by the coral just after entering the water, it kind of freaked me out, (I'm partially hydrophobic), and the waves were just not working on our side. So, getting used to the tube was a tinge difficult, that, along with the flippers, well, I decided to take baby steps. I left the flippers on shore where the waves couldn't get to them.

Regardless, we swam around a little bit, and it was alright, but the moment that I fell in love with it, was when I was about to go over a pretty deep hole, (once again, hydrophobia) and I turned to go grab onto a rock, and a palm-sized, colorful fish, hell, I don't even know what it's called, swam passed me. That was awesome. Then, we made our way into a cave, it was dark, but one of us had a flashlight, and when she turned it on, there was a Ginormous school of fish circling around, it was awesome.

None the less, it took me two and a half years to start, but it will take me a lifetime to finish.
